Students taking part in Exito, Kirkcudbright Academy’s Young Enterprise group, are selling Mood Mugs.

The youngsters will be selling the mugs at the Christmas market in Dumfries town centre from 10am-4pm this Saturday. The cost per mug is £7.50, but the pupils have promised that at the market they will have several special offers on the day.

The enterprising teenagers said: “No matter which side of bed you get out of in the morning, there’s a Mood Mug to suit you.

“Not a morning person? The Monstrously Moody mug will show everyone that after snoozing your alarm 10 times and dragging yourself out of bed, you’re in no mood for a chat at the breakfast table.

“The Happy as Larry mug is perfect for when you wake up with a spring in your step and there’s nothing better than reflecting on how good life is over a steaming hot brew.

“The Seriously Sleepy mug is perfect for when you’re a bleary eyed sleepyhead. Ideal for that early morning coffee to give you that boost needed to wake up, or a bedtime hot chocolate to send you off to the land of nod.

“The mugs have double wall insulation to ensure that your beverage is kept hot but your hands are cool, eliminating the need for a handle and creating more cupboard space.”
